Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipient, Canvin Du! Find out more about our previous winners here!
How can the legal system better serve families in transition? Moskowitz Law Group is seeking thoughtful essay submissions for our Fair Divorce Legislation Scholarship. We are awarding $1,000 to the student who provides the most compelling argument regarding the strengths or flaws of current divorce statutes.
Our firm recognizes that the legal framework of a divorce often dictates the emotional and financial recovery of everyone involved. By sponsoring this scholarship, we aim to spark a critical conversation about how legislative changes can minimize conflict and prioritize the well-being of children and parents alike. We value diverse perspectives and look forward to reading how your unique experiences or academic research shape your vision for a fairer legal process.
Application Deadline: February 28, 2027
Award Amount: $1,000
Eligibility

Whether you are finishing high school, attending a vocational college, or completing a graduate degree, you are eligible to submit your essay. This opportunity is open to students nationwide who are dedicated to furthering their education at an accredited institution.
- Eligibility is restricted to the general public; therefore, staff members of Moskowitz Law Group are excluded from entry.
